Navigating the Landscape of Startup Innovations and Investment Implications

Venture capitalists don’t mind strike-outs, so long as they get their home runs. What can stock investors learn from that approach? 

Ricky Mulvey talks with Ilya Strebulaev and Alex Dang, co-authors of “The Venture Mindset: How to Make Smarter Bets and Achieve Extraordinary Growth,” about:

• The benefits of building an “anti-portfolio”
• Why it pays to get outside of your own four walls
• Lessons from a piggy bank auction

Strebulaev is also the founder of the Venture Capital Initiative and a Professor of Private Equity and Finance at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business. Dang is a CEO, technology executive, and advisor who’s worked with Amazon, McKinsey, and across Silicon Valley.
